A new paper model (at long last!), the Robin DR400 Dauphin 4, at a scale of 1: 24 , which can be downloaded free from my web site www.bobscardmodels.com . Why this model? Quite simply because I had an enjoyable afternoon with my neighbour flight instructor, who showed me the beautiful French Burgundy countryside from the air in this Dauphin 4. The Robin DR400 is a wooden sport monoplane, conceived by Pierre Robin and Jean Délémontez. It first flew in 1972 and was still in production in 2008. It has a tricycle undercarriage, and can carry four people. The DR400 aircraft have the 'cranked wing' configuration, in which the dihedral angle of the outer wing is much greater than the inboard, a configuration which they share with Jodel aircraft. This model is considered easy to fly by many and quiet during flight due to its wooden frame. What next ??? I would like to tackle a classical bi- or tri-plane. Any ideas? Bob
